These drop biscuits probably aren’t what you grew up eating (especially if you mainly ate canned biscuits like me), but they can satisfy a craving for bread. Enjoy them with soup or for breakfast in an egg sandwich or grain-free Eggs Benedict.
These biscuits are too good to be true. HONESTLY! I no longer miss traditional buttermilk biscuits made with wheat flour.
Four Reasons Why You Should Save This Recipe
- Almond flour is the leading player, but Cheddar cheese puts these on my A-list.
- Greek yogurt keeps them tender and flaky. Since I make my own Greek yogurt, I try adding it to recipes whenever possible. These 5-Ingredient Greek Yogurt Waffles are my latest use for Greek yogurt. They won’t disappoint.
- No rolling out is needed. Drop with a spoon or an ice cream dipper.
- They taste delicious when eaten with sausage patties. Cheese + sausage = breakfast delight.

This is the best recipe I have come across for gluten free, low carb biscuits. I love the cheddar cheese flavor; it smells so good when I toast them in the toaster. I have modified the recipe to make a blueberry scone. I use mozzarella cheese, stevia and blueberries. I have also made cinnamon chip. Thank you for sharing. —ALLISON M.
How To Portion Drop Biscuits
Because it’s easiest to portion these out with an ice cream scoop, they are similar to drop biscuits. If you wet your fingers, you can tap them down just a little to make a smooth top so they will cook more evenly. But don’t smash them too much.
